Outside the city and far enough away from DCF39, AFN and DLF it was quite easy to get a nice S/N from the transmitting stations. The background noise was 20 dB above the RX+soundcard noise. I've been active for just a few hours and these are the best S/N reports for the active stations (thanks to them for the interesting tests).
